GEARING.

Patented Feb. 17, 191 4.

Original application filed October 5. 1911, Serial No. 658,020. Divided and this application filed May 6, 1912. Serial No. 695,526.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GUY Dasarono Gnurrrns, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Acme, Aberta, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Imrovements in Gearing, of which the folowing is a specification.

' My invention relates to improvements 1 n gearing, and the object of my invention is to design certain gearing which will be antomatically thrown into operation so as to turn a second shaft in both directions around its longitudinal axis, and to turn a first shaft in one direction around its longitudinal axis, and the invention comprises a first shaft and a second shaft; a driven shaft; trains of gearin intermediate sald driven shaft an sai first and second shafts, the said'train of-dgearing being of articular construction an operating at diferent times and certain elements thereof being turnedin one directionand then turned in the opposite direction, to control the movements" of said first and second shafts, suitable clutch -mechanism' being used to control energy from said driven shaft, as hereinafter more particularly set forth. 1

Although this gearing iscapable of general application, and I shall so describe it still it is designed to be particularly used ain shockers disclosed in the parent application. This present application is a dlVlSlOll from the parent application for improvements in gram smokers, filed October 5, 1911, under Serial No. 058020.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, certain parts being shown in section; Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the sector and trip-dog operated thereby, eoactin to alternately lock and release a train 0 gearing; Fig. 1 is a detail view of certain gearing in normal ositionwhereby the second shaft is positively rotated in a given direction; Fig. 5 is a vertical cross section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1, andgFigg. 0 is a vertical cross section on the line ,Fi

By any suitable clut-ch such as A splined on the shaft 57 and controlled by the arm B, which arm may be operated manually or otherwise, the sprocket wheel 64- loosel journaled on the shaft. 57 is designed to be clutched to said shaft at certain times through the medium of its hub C, and consequently said sprocket wheel is rotated. By reason of the sprocket chum 5 energy is conveyed to the sprocket wheel 00 keyed to the shaft (37 journuled in suitable bearings, only one bearing, 58, being illustrated. The movement of the sha lt 7 moves the quadrant (if) keyed thereto in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2.

is a lug carrier by the quadrant 00, and this lug normally rests in contact with the heel 71 of the dog 72 which is journaled in the bearing 73 which is su ported by the bracket 74. The toe 75 of t 1e said dog is normally in the path of movement of the lug 70 carried by the beveled pinion 77' keyed to the-first shaft .78 which is mounted in suitable bearings 5, one only of which is shown. 80 is a spring connecting the heel 71 of the said dog with the bracket 74. for normally kee ing the toe 75 in the path of movement 0 the lug 70 and keeping the heel 71 against the lug 70. ii hen the quadrant 69 commences to move as described, the dog 72 is operated so that its toe 75 will move out of the path of movement of the lug 70, therefore permitting an arm or lever 0 carried by the shaft 78 to swing downward and so turn said shaft.

Keyed to the shaft 07 is a sprocket wheel which is connected by the sprocket chain 07 with the sprocket wheel 08 which is keyed on the shaft 00 mounted in the boarngs and 101. Keyed to the shaft 00 is a s ur gear 102 which is only partially provued with teeth. This spur gear 102 coacts with a spur gear 1103 carried by the beveled )inion 103 keyed to the shaft 101; jOlllIllllCK in the bearing 101.. The normal )osition of the spur gears 102 and 1103 is illustrated in Fig. 5. The tooth 105 of the spur gear 102 is normally positioned so that it comes into mesh with the teeth of the spur gear 1103 immediately the lever 0 or its equivalent means, has dropped, so that the -,teeth of the spur gear 102 will turn the y axis in one 'direction.-

in mesh with the pinion 107 keyed to'the second shaft 108 mounted in any suitable bearings, only one, 59 being illustrated, thus turning this shaft the desired number of revolutions in one direction. So soon as this shaft has been turned the desired number of times in the direction described, the tooth 114 of the spur gear 115 keyed to the shaft 99, comes into mesh with the spur gear 1110 carried b the beveled pinion 110 keyed to the shaft 117 journaled in the bearing 100. The beveled pinion 116 is constantly in mesh with the beveled pinion 118 mounted by its shaft 119 in the bearing 120. The beveled pinions 110, 118, and 103 are'fully provided with teeth, and as the beveled inions 116 'and 103 are constantly in most with the pinion 118,- as a result of the coaction between the spur gears 115 and 1116, and beveled pinion 116, the second shaft 108 is turned in the opposite direction to that already described, the desired number of revolution's. Immediately the shaft 108 has been turned as just described, the tooth 121 of the beveled pinion 122 keyed to the shaft 67, comes into mesh with the beveled pinion 77 ikeyed to the shaft 78 and consequentlyl the said shaft 7 8 is turned so as to move the lever or arm 6 into such position thatwhen the said shaft is again'unlocked, the said lever or arm will move it on its So soonas the said first shaft 78 and the said second shaft 108 have been turned'as described, the clutch mechanism'A and. B will be 0 erated to unclutch the sprocket wheel64 mm the shaft 57 so as to bring the said gearing to rest. When it is desired to again operate the said shafts asalready'described, the clutch mech-' anism A and B will be operated to clutch the sprocket wheel 04 to the shaft 57.

The quadrant 09 of course makes a complete revolution around its shaft 07.

Various changes may be made in construction without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim- 1. In a machine of the class described, the combination of a frame; a shaft journaled in said frame; a full-toothed beveledinion keyed to saidshaft provided with a ug; a spring-controlled dogmounted in a bearing carried by said frame and normally engaged by said lug; another shaft extending substantially at right an Ice to said firstmentioned shaft; a mem er journaled on said other shaft and normally in the path and-means of movement of said dog,

whereby said other shaft is operated to move said member to tilt said dog to move it out of the path of movement of said lug to unlock said lug-provided beveled pinion at certain times.

2. In a machine of the class described, the combination of a frame" a shaft journalcd therein; a first, a secon and a third full tooth-provided beveled pinion journaled in said frame and all constantly in mesh; it

carried by said first and third inions and opposite each other, means w ereby energy is transmitted from said third beveled pinion to said shaft; another shaft journaled in said frame; a spur gear partially provided with teeth, keyed to said other shaft, and co-acting with said spur gear carried by said first-mentioned beveled pinion; another s 111' ear partially provided with test also keyed to said other shaft and co-actin with the spur gear carried by said third beveled inion; a driven shaft journaled in said rame, and a sprocket wheel loosely journaled on said driven shaft; means whereby energy is transmitted from said sprocket wheel to said other shaft, and suitable clutch mechanism mounted on said driven shaft whereby said sprocket wheel is clutched to said dnven shaft 50 that said first-mentioned shaft will be first turned in one direction and then turned in the opposite direction, for the purpose specified.

3. In a machine of the class described, the combination of a frame; a first-shaft journaled insaid frame; a full tooth provided beveled pinion keyed to said shaft; means for locking said pinion in normal position; another shaft journaled in said frame; a beveled pinion partially provided with teeth keyed to said other shaft and co-ueting with said first-mentioned pinionmeans for unlocking said first-mentioned pinion to permit its shaft to be turned in one direction a driven shaft journalcd in said frame, nnc means whereby at certain times energy is transmitted from said driven shaft'to said second-mentioned shaft so as to bring the teeth of said second-mentioned pinion into mesh with said first-mentioned pinion to turn said first shaft in the opposite direction. a

In testimony whereof I have ailixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
